Mercy

Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose
Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high 
and low
When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke
We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we'd never show

On a canvas we stained with blood and painted with our sins
There's a candle melting and it's burning at both ends
We'll take and take till it caves and drowns us in the wax 
it drips
Like a moth to a flame you never should've fucking lit

You can give sight to the blind
But you can't force them to see
You could take us back in time
But it wouldn't change a thing

If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His 
home
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell
 us no
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his 
throne
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we 
can't go

To a rat in a maze, the end is where the start begins
But if we made it out, I know that we would do it all again
We live and die in vain like treasure on a sinking ship
All in the name of a God we'd just abandon and forget
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His 
home
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell
 us no
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his 
throne

And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we 
can't go

We're dying every day
Tell me, is it all in vain?
Is it worth the suffering?
Is it worth the price we paid?
Is it worth it?
Yeah

You can give sight to the blind
But you can't force them to see
You could take us back in time
But it wouldn't change a thing

If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His 
home
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell
 us no
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his 
throne
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we 
can't go

Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose
Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high 
and low
When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke
We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we'd never show

You can give sight to the blind
But you can't force them to see
You could take us back in time
But it wouldn't change a fucking thing
